Abstract

Approximately 43 million Americans have one or more forms of acquired heart or blood vessel disease: high blood pressure occurs in 38 million adults; coronary artery disease occurs in 4.5 million adults; rheumatic heart disease occurs in 2 million; and stroke in 1.9 million. Myocardial infarction caused approximately 555000 deaths (25% of all mortality) in 1982. Some aspect of the pathophysiology of each of these diseases can be evaluated with radionuclide techniques.
